Re: Missing Activity Zone Settings

Good grief, I was just about to tell you where to find the "Activity Zone" since the January 2019 update, and since I have both Pro & Pro2 cameras, I checked mine, and you are absolutely correct! It's only on the HD cameras that it's available now, right in the Settings and then the Video Settings, but the non HD cameras do not have the Activity Zone choice in the Video Settings....WTF, they were all working, or should I say, available to add on all the Arlo Pro & Pro 2 cameras. The activity zones also are just another feature that does not work reliably.

IOS iphone app......I have both Pro2 (1080p hd) and Pro cameras (720p), and my two Pro2 (1080pHD) cameras have the Activity Zone available under "Device Settings" scroll down to Video and on the HD cameras only I have a choice of Video Settings > and Activity Zones >, however my regular 720p cameras do not have Activity Zones option.

Re: Missing Activity Zone Settings

I have this issue too now. Activity zones were present in the iOS app (though they didn’t work), and now they are gone for my Arlo Pro cameras. They are still there for my Pro 2 cameras, but again, they don’t work.

I suspect Arlo came to the view that it is better to remove the feature all together than keep it there when it isn’t working.

Activity Zones Not Working

Can we please get the activity zones to work. I think masking is the term that other cams use where you set a zone you want the cam to activate only in. The activity zones on Arlo dont work that way and if i could get them to work the way you guys have them set up is for it to trigger anywhere out the zone and record to library only with no alerts and if zone is triggered then an alert is sent. This way is completely stupid as you would have a library full of recordings and need to go through them to find the ones that alerted you. Also it consumes the same amount of battery life as no zones set. So please if your American programmers cant make a zone to only trigger and record in the activity zone set, could you please ask a Chinese programmer to do it for you so im not alerted by trees, neighbours, cars, pedestrians,etc that is outside of the activity set zone. And i always thought the Amercans had the best programmers...mmm OR Maybe ask a Kiwi programmer to do it for you...we send rockets into space too now so fixing the activity zones would be no hassel.
